And, Behind the Headlines: Human Trafficking. The challenges of combatting a international crime that experts call modern-day slavery.

FDL’s Book Salon:The Book of O(bama): From Hope, the Disgust, to Revolt Under Obama. “How did a charismatic young president elected in an atmosphere of optimism and expectation lead the United States to the brink of revolution? From a chance encounter in the early 1980s to the Democratic primaries of 2007-08, syndicated columnist and political cartoonist Ted Rall was one of the first to size up Barack Obama as we know him now: conservative, risk-averse and tonedeaf. In The Book of Obama Rall revisits the rapid rise and dizzying fall of Obama—and the emergence of the Tea Party and Occupy movements—and draws a startling conclusion: We the People weren’t lied to. We lied to ourselves, both about Obama and the two-party system. We voted when we ought to have revolted.” Chat with author/cartoonist Ted Rall, hosted by our friend watertiger. 5pm ET.

FDL’s Movie Night Monday:Final Offer. “Buying and selling may seem like simple tasks, but when it comes to valuable antiques and rare collectibles, the stakes are higher than ever. In FINAL OFFER, four of the country’s smartest, shrewdest and most successful dealers will battle it out to bid and buy some of the nation’s most desired items. This isn’t your typical bidding war — these dealers will be shelling out their own big bucks for high ticket items that demand the necessary expertise to strike a good deal.” “Our guest is Patrick Painter, a top art dealer, who’ll be talking about art collecting, deal making, trends in art and the James Earl Ray prison escape map which got MLK,Jr’s assassin on the streets in 1968.” With host Lisa Derrick, 8pm ET Monday.
